I havent made much of a start on Christmas shopping or gifts as yetI made this wall hanging for Dan She has a few badges These ones were on her Pop's hanger so she has been wanting her own
My Darling daughters health has been causing us much concern
The chemo doesn't seem to be working and her breathing is getting worse
Has been having her lung drained almost weekly and last week they made a tiny hole in the lung which has allowed air to enter and caused more breathlesness
They are now thinking of putting in a permanant drain but there are risks involved so she has to have a good think about what to do
While her hubby is at work I spend a lot of time with her
Sometimes I get really upset with the unfairness of it all I have a friend whose daughter has drunk and smoked herself into bad health
Lorraine has never smoked or drank
Just seems so unfair
Oh....I am soooo sad, it doesn't seem fair at all. I know this must be so hard on you to have to sit back and watch as your daughter suffers. I wish there was something I could say or do to help ease your burden.
ReplyDeleteThe quilt is lovely!
Dan is going to love that hanging it is beautiful..I so hear you on your unfairness of what Lorraine is going through...sorry to hear the small hole hasn't made things better for you..and it is so fortunate that you are able to spend time with her while J is at work...hope the rian is giving you a break and time for a walk for you and ride for Lorraine,sending caring thoughtful huggles your way,cheers Vickie
ReplyDeleteit is hard to remain strong and positive when your daughter seems to be getting worse..........but make sure you look after yourself so you can be there for Lorraine......
ReplyDeleteI am so sorry to hear about your daughter. When I was a Hospice volunter I always found that being able to spend as much time as you can well there not well means so much to them. An this is what your able to do and how wonderful for you both. Your will both be in my prayers and hope things get better.
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry about Lorraine, but I'm so glad you're able to spend so much time with her. I can only imagine how much it means to both of you right now. Sending hugs for you!
ReplyDeleteDearest Illene, I am so very sad to hear that Lorraine's health is getting worse. I agree that it seems so unfair when there are others about that have not given a thought to their health and have taken it for granted. I am glad that you are able to spend so much time with her now...I'm sure that just your presence is such a comfort to her. You both have been constantly in my prayers and I will keep on praying for you daily!
ReplyDeleteMuch love,
Cyndi
I hear what you are saying about the unfairness of it all sometimes. Stay strong so you can be there for your daughter. The badges-hanging you have made for Danielle is a neat idea.
ReplyDeleteHi Ilene, I love the quilt you have made for Danielle - a lovely idea with the badges. Life can be so unfair sometimes. Sending thoughts and prayers to you, Lorraine and your family. Regards Dianne.
ReplyDeleteDear Illene, lovely quilt you have made for Danielle for the badges....my thoughts are with you as always....bear hugs to you both...Regards, Lyn
ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry. There are no words. It's not fair. Thank God she has such a loving, thoughtful, wonderful Mother to help her in her time of need. You and Lorraine are, as always, in my prayers.
ReplyDeleteIllene, life isn't fair, and I can well imagine how hard it is for you all. My prayers go with you.
